"Our Progression! How have we reached this point?

During the winter of 2019, we transitioned to living full time in our custom-built van, embarking on a journey to reside, work, and explore Canada. Embracing the pursuit of our ambitions in venturing off the conventional path, living autonomously, and achieving self-sufficiency became our passion. Traveling extensively through Canada, the USA, Mexico, and Guatemala in our van, we meticulously documented our experiences on our channel—be sure to visit for more insights! After numerous years on the road, we acquired a serene 15-acre parcel in a remote woodland on the East Coast of Canada. Here, we are constructing a homestead and refurbishing our entirely off-grid cabin. Venturing into this new phase with no prior experience, we are delighted to share our journey and growth with you as we acquire the necessary skills with our own hands."

Thank you for joining us as we embrace cabin and van living, along with everything in between!

With ambition fueling my every move, I embarked on the task of roofing my shipping container workshop, nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of my creative sanctuary. Armed with determination and a spirit of innovation, I set out to transform this industrial marvel into a functional space that would inspire productivity and ignite my passion. Channeling my creativity, I meticulously planned the roofing design, envisioning a blend of practicality and aesthetic appeal. Each step of the process was met with enthusiasm, from laying the foundation to securing the trusses, as I worked tirelessly to bring my vision to life. As the sun set on the horizon, casting a golden glow upon my workshop, I stood back and admired the fruits of my labor—a testament to my ambition and dedication to turning dreams into reality.
